Nikolai Mikhaylovich Albov (Template:Lang-ru, 15 October 1866, — 6 December 1897, La Plata, Argentina) was a Russian botanist and geographer. He made his mark first as an explorer of Caucasus which he (financed by the Swiss Botanist Society) made several extensive trips to, and later, after having moved to Argentina in 1895, of the Southern regions of South America. He is credited with being arguably the first European explorer to have traveled extensively over Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego and (writing in Russian and French), described its flora.[1][2][3][4]
The standard author abbreviation Albov is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[5]
